@martinez the mailchimp bridge is a good idea... i will add it to our long list of needed plugins. Maybe one day we can build it.

;-) MailChimp seems popular...! For FBFKs 200K users - I coded a CRON/Bash.PHP thing to take an Elgg Page/ Blog - extract the real (HTML'ed + IMG) content and zap it out using mail() with all the proper headers.. Very few spam hits.. tho it takes about 2-4 hours to run thru the Bash/PHP.There's 2 parts tp the code - abt 50 lines of PHP each ;) Works for FK..;) I think I described this somewhere on another post.

MailCHimp seems a good idea - though we try not to rely on external services for our sites.

@Dhrup you mean this http://community.elgg.org/pg/pages/view/709589/rich-html-mass-emailer ? i'm not very friendly with cron yet, though i know i will have to give a closer look/dive into this stuff soon.. I'm still having some performance issues with outgoing notifications, limited by a mutualized(?) server which doesn't allow me to extend script execution time.. So definitely will check how it's used in http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/515768/developer/kevin/message-queue or http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/616834/developer/mcampo/mail-queue . Did you publish it ? (i like pieces of code, sometimes even more than plugins themselves!) Thx for the inspiration ;)

@Pavithra i appreciate feedback and new features discussion, but translations won't happen that way. The plugin is built so that it can be easily translated - but sometimes i don't have time to translate it myself.

My French is not up to running speed. Can you explain please: does this mass-mailer AUTOMATICALLY send to all the web-site members e-mail addresses, or does the sender have to compile a csv list? In which case is there a short cut to get the addresses from the Elgg site's data-base? Also when the mailing list is compiled do the recipients see a full list of addresses that the mail has been sent to?

I've installed the plugin but I get an error message when sent telling me there are no RECIPIENTS!?

Help,

Hi,

this plugin sends the message only to the defined emails which can be added :

either manually : add the email list
or by using "shortcut links", which are : own email, site's email, all site members, all sites members (multisite) - and also a "clear all" link

you can combine both methods of course.

I recommend testing by using own emails first.

Sender and reply-to must be set.

If you still get an error, please detail the context and symptoms.
